You guys? I think this is the strongest link roundup ever on CHG. Everybody (EVERBODY), all across the internet (EVERYWHERE) was totally on their games (GAMES). Read on, and have a lovely weekend.

1) New York Times: 101 Fast Recipes for GrillingJust in time for Independence Day, Mark “The Minimalist” Bittman comes through with a barbecue brainstorm of epic proportions. Read it and weep. Or eat. Or weepeat, which is when you eat and cry at the same time. I’ve done it with blueberries. It wasn’t pretty.

2) Money Saving Mom: How to Start Your Own Produce Co-opGuest poster Deja Armstrong smashes a home run with this fab post about families going in together to save on produce. Her plan is logically laid out and looks to be quite the money saver. If you have a craving for bananas and a willing neighborhood, it’s a must-read.

5) Surviving and Thriving: Don’t Hate the Payer, Hate the GameFirst, mad props for that title. Second, Donna’s using her coupons, AND she’s going to call the cashier out if the register makes an error, AND she’s occasionally using change to buy something. If you don’t like it, get delivery at home, yo. (Note: I agree with her on all of this.)

8) USA Today: Native Americans embrace tradition to defeat diabetesHere’s a shocking statistic: 16% of American Indians have diabetes. Here’s an encouraging solution: A movement is starting. Many communities are changing their diets, buffets, and restaurants to include traditional, produce-heavy dishes. Awareness, she is being raised.

9) Wise Bread: How to Split Food Expenses With a Significant OtherHusband-Elect and I do this: I buy the groceries, keep a record of receipts, and send him an e-mail entitled “Billz” at the end of the month. Then he pays me and we drink wine. How do you guys handle food costs? (Actually, this may be a great post for a later date. What think you?)

10) The Atlantic: How Supermarkets Could Fight ObesityWow, this is neat. Grocery stores are starting to address how they can market healthier foods to potential buyers. The key issues: “How can we turn grocers' considerable merchandising skills to help slim us down? With supermarkets' arrays of sampling programs, displays, interactive shopping carts, and shelf signage, can we not more easily capture shoppers' attention to purchase healthier foods?”
